Former President George H.W. Bush, who spent a lifetime in public service and as the nation's leader scored a decisive victory over Saddam Hussein but battled a faltering economy, died Friday at age 94. Family spokesman Jim McGrath said Bush died shortly after 10 p.m. Friday, about eight months after the death of his wife, Barbara Bush. He is survived by five children, including former President George W. Bush and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. A sixth child died in early childhood. The late former president also is survived by 17 grandchildren.

God Bless President George Bush. A World War Two bet who saved the world and almost lost his life. I’m sure he is happy to be back with his Barbara dancing on the shores of Heaven. He’s also back with his daughter Robin who died as a child. Prayers for the Bush family

Thank you for your fine post on the nature of not only this Bush, but the entire Bush family.

It looks like many here are still under the impression that daddy Bush was NOT a Prince of the Derp State, and our enemy.

I do remember the day after the election some of us trying to get used to saying “President Bush”, which sounded really weird
I had the same experience when JFK took office. IKE had looked and sounded like a benevolent grandfather, while JFK not only didn't, he had this strange accent to boot.

Had it not been for Perot, Bush would have likely beaten the career criminal and serial rapist by a 57% to 43% popular vote seal slaughter. Yet, the Marxist media revisionists continue to claim that Clinton had amassed some sort of popular vote mandate.

He made one great remark about family life and treating one’s kids that I’ll always remember:

“You better be nice to your kids because they’re the ones who’ll decide what nursing home you’ll go to.”

A wonderfully humorous way of expressing an absolute, hard-edged truth.

NWO Speech. I thought it was kinda creepy.

Quote from the speech, “...when we are successful, and we will be...”

What are the odds of being the only man in America who could not remember where he was when JFK was killed AND being so close to assuming the Presidency in 1981 the very same way Lyndon B Johnson acquired the position?

Hmmm...

No, no, no!
He said, “ no new taxis”
He didn’t create new taxes, he just raised the old ones.

I know he’s in heaven and I think he was a good dad, but I think he did more harm than good for America. Reagan’s biggest mistake was making him VP IMO.

I don’t want to see a replay with Pence in 2024. As Bush was, so Pence is NOT the man to carry us forward towards restoration of our Free Constitutional Republic. I hope the 2024 man emerges soon.

You’ve got zero argument, from me, with everything you said.

God will judge him; people on FR aren’t qualified to

God will judge his soul. But people on FR are absolutely qualified to judge Bush's actions as president and his affect on America.

John 7:24: Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

You knew he wouldn’t last long once Barbara was gone. He could have been a better president and I could have been better in my life too. RIP.
